Appologies for the interruption for the past several days.............

I haven't posted in quite a few days. Unlike me, as I'm usually cranking it out pretty regular. Addressing a few ongoing health issues, and so I do hope to get back into the grind during this next week. I should be continuing the Django lists, Clyde McPhatter/Dominoes/Drifters lists, Martha Tilton, Don Redman, and am researching and compiling some older jazz.....Jabbo Smith, Astoria Hot 8, Georgia Strutters, Charlie Johnson's Paradise Orch. I'm also working on some more vocalists...Frances Langford, and Doris Day. Looking to get some transciptions up, too...mostly western swing stuff that may or may not be easily found online...not sure, but I do have some good stuff y'all might like. Oh, and movies....I have a lot...could post more, as they seem to be popular....let me know if you're looking for something you can't find, I might be able to get it up on here for you.

I'd also like to ask for some requests, if you have some....anything, really. I have so much music that I occasionally go through some "uploader's block", if you will...and sometimes get a little burned out listing the stuff that I do.....a little creative ass prodding often gets me into looking for and researching stuff.....I love finding things for folks who haven't had luck finding or completing their collections.....let me know of anything you're into. I love doing requests.

If you find something, and the link isn't working, or you find some inaccuracy.....please, PLEASE let me know, so I can try to correct that......there have been a lot of posts over the last year, and some of the older stuff may have problems....again, I'll be happy to try to fix it for you.

I discovered your site last week and have been overloading my hard drive with things from the archives since then.

I wondered if you had any of Jacques Tourneur's horror films, like Cat People or I Walked With a Zombie? They are impossible to get on DVD in Europe and seem like the kind of thing you might be able to upload.

Ahh, Cat People... The only time I saw it was when it came out nearly 30 years ago. I for one would sure love to see that movie again. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have it in the local movie rental places nor at the public library.

I do have the original soundtrack on vinyl though. Perhaps I could find the time to rip it and upload it sometimes. Let me know if you are interested.

The goal of all this business....
